GNSSCOM conducted a six-part webinar series in 2021 with a focus on improving Member States’ capacity to communicate effectively with interested parties during normal operations. At the conclusion of the webinar series, the IAEA sent a survey to all participants to elicit their feedback and insights. Respondents indicated an interest in and need for additional consideration to be given to the use of social media in the specialized field of nuclear safety and security, as it can be a powerful communication tool and equally challenging to manage.
Objectives
This webinar will focus on the effective use of social media in nuclear safety and security communication. It will feature IAEA guidance and review of relevant materials. Experts from Member States will also provide case studies on how they employ social media to engage with different stakeholders and share lessons learned. The webinar will feature online polls conducted to inform the discussion on the role of social media in promoting global efforts to strengthen nuclear safety and nuclear security. The interactive webinar session aims to engage the webinar participants to increase Member States’ understanding and practical application of social media considerations, tools and techniques to strengthen the GNSSCOM network of communicators in parallel.
